Do I see you in the morning light
The moment I open up my eyes
Or thank you for the gift of life
The wonder and absolute delight
Do I see you in the little things
That I encounter every day
From a distance do I seek you
If all things appear the same
Do I see you struggle on your way
Down the bitter cold city streets
Have I ever taken a moments time
To offer you a bit of food to eat
Do I see you in the lost an broken
Or turn my back and walk away
From a distance do I seek you
If I tell myself everything is okay
Do I see you behind every tear
Of the homeless single mother
Cringe as I swiftly walk past
A man curled up in the gutter
Do I say, "Behold, the Lamb of God"
Or close my eyes another day
From a distance do I see you
Or better yet.....Do they?
